1. Prepare the Tortilla Base:

   • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Lightly fry each tortilla until golden and crispy, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

2. Cook the Beef:

   • In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
   • Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the beef is well coated and the liquid reduces.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Spread a thin layer of refried beans on two tortillas.
   • Top the beans with the cooked ground beef, dividing evenly between the two tortillas.
   • Place another tortilla on top of each, creating two pizza bases.

4. Add Toppings:

   • Spread salsa or enchilada sauce over the top layer of each tortilla stack.
   • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the pizzas.

5. Bake:

   • Place the pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Remove the pizzas from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and cilantro.
   • Slice into quarters and serve with optional garnishes like sour cream, guacamole, or jalapeños.

Notes and Tips

• For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with sautéed vegetables or plant-based crumbles.
• To save time, use pre-made tostada shells instead of frying tortillas.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
